Pipes to protect, and last few bits



The pipe running fom the 4 way connector to the coolant tank will touch the manifold if it is left where it is. After lots of reading about wrapping manifolds i decided to wrap the coolant hose instead. This was held on with stainless steel cable ties. Another steel cable tie was then wrapped around this hose to the lower radiator hose to pull it away from the manifold.
If using a similar induction kit set up the filter will rest on the coolant hose coming from the thermostat. This can also be wrapped to protect it.
If relocating the coolant tank. The hose coming from the bottom will rub on the battery tray. I simply cut away the battery tray as i know i will never use it agan. Making sure to seal where you have left bare metal. Another option would be a second hose wrapped around the edge. This will protect it nicely, but will still have to be check to see how quickly it is wearing through.
As the engine is deeper this same hose runs very close to the radiator fan.
Make sure this is cable tied into position away from the blades.

Finally, reconnect the battery. and turn the key one click. It should flash the code light as normal, the injector light should come on for 5 secs and in this time you should be hearing it prime. If you cannot hear it prime, firstly check the fuel cut off switch. If no luck please start a thread on the forum where somebody will assist you.

You can now trial start to see what happens, however running for any length of time with no back pressure from the exhaust is not recommended.

If it starts although, albeit extremely loud, you can now adjust the fuel pressure to be at 3.5 bar while idling.

Now that most parts are done the exhaust can be made up. Clearance wise, the supersprint manifold sits nice and close to the sump so will clear the ARB unlike the standard cinqueccento exhaust.

I hope this will be of some use to somebody in the future. I have had great fun doing this engine fun, although quite stressful at time. The guys on the forum are brilliant and if you have any questions please start a thread and we will try our best to help.

A great thanks to all who helped me and continue to help, and i hope to pass my knowledge on as it progresses. :D
